III. Description of supplies/services required to meet agency needs.

The furniture design and retrofit with preexisting Knoll, Inc furniture include approximated sixty-nine (69) line items. These items include but are not limited too to the following: Series 2 Floor-standing Pedestal, Rectangular work surfaces, Cantilever brackets, Flat brackets, Panel-to-Worksurface brackets, duplex circuits, Panel power connectors, Panel power jumpers, LED task lights, Frame less add up glass, Panel end assemblies, Pre-configured monolithic panels, two and three-way posts, post covers, Fabric tiles, cabinets, pedestals with hinged doors, design services, project management fees and installation. The total anticipated cost of the requirement is $89,274.44.

IV. Identification of the justification/rationale for limiting sources and demonstration of the contractor's unique qualifications to provide the required supply/service.

AFGSC A5N currently has Knoll, Inc. products fitted, installed and located in their office space. The customer has identified the need to retrofit their office space for further utilization and capacity in an effort to meet mission requirements. The furniture products that have been requested are to honor current warranties of products and to match existing furniture that occupies the spaces.

V. Determination by the ordering activity Contracting Officer that the order represents the best value consistent with

FAR 8.404(d).

GSA has already determined the prices of supplies and fixed-price services, and rates for services offered at hourly rates, under schedule contracts to be fair and reasonable. Therefore, ordering activities are not required to make a separate determination of fair and reasonable pricing, except for a price evaluation. In consideration of past contracts awarded FY' 22 & '23, the price delta remains within 18% over a period exceeding two years. The contracts that have been identified which support the price evaluation and comparison are FA460822F0059, FA460822F0107 and FA460823F0007. These evaluated contracts are consistent with annual inflation increases in excess of 16.8%.

VI. Description of the market research conducted and the results, or explain why market research was not conducted.

Knoll, Inc. maintains a GSA Schedule (GS-03F-078DA) that includes the items being requested for AFGSC/A5N. Knoll, Inc. is the sole manufacturer of the items. In an effort to match existing and maintain warranty considerations those items identified must be utilized to ensure the compatibility between product lines. It was identified that the only regional vendor within 200 miles of Barksdale, AFB is Innovative Intelligent Design dba IDI Workspaces, Inc. An award will be made to Knoll, Inc. in care of (c/o) IDI Workspaces, Inc who has been identified as the regional installer of Knoll manufactured products and equipment.

VII. Other facts supporting the justification.

No other considerations were made as they pertain to FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(C).

VIII. Actions the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers that led to the restricted consideration before any subsequent acquisition for the supplies or services.

Knoll, Inc maintains a Federal Supply Schedule and operate as a large business. There are no other entities identified on GSA that are capable of performing or providing the same equipment that will be needed to match existing. In accordance with (IAW) FAR 8.405-2(b) an order will be placed with the schedule contractor that can provide the supply and when a statement of work (SOW) is required.

As evidenced by my signature above, I have determined this document to be both accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

X. Certification by the technical/requirements personnel.
